NO.

posties doesn't usually arrive till 10 ish 

[Trainfish]

We only usually have a delivery if there is a 'T' in the day (Tuesday, Thursday. SaTurday) which is why I was surprised we had 3 deliveries today.

Just shows your postie doesn't know what day it is

Most disappointing was the fact that amongst the deliveries were a prescription, wool, new credit card, tooth flossers, another prescription, mystery package for the wife etc there was just 1 train related item which was a bogie! But id does mean I can get my TGV up and running again on my 1980's BR layout 

Another video opportunity I feel so this does still belong in the Happy thread

Happy as a pig in orange today. Mike @woodbury22uk kindly sent me a replacement bogie for my TGV which I will put to the test later on my completed oval and see how it handles Ummagumma Junction. I am very confident that it will be fine on there being a Kato unit 

By one of those lucky coincidences the Lima TGV articulation bogie will fit the Kato unit. There is a tiny amount of "slop" where the cars clip over the pivot pin, but it does not seem to affect running when I tested it on my Kato set which had not had a run for a few years. :-)

Popped into my local Tesco today, everyone was wearing masks and only solo shoppers were allowed in (excepting disabled and people with children), there was a middle aged couple in front of me and she was adamant they were both going in, she was advised to either shop solo or shop elsewhere, she turned to her husband (long suffering no doubt) "you had better give me the car keys then" and stomped off.
As I was allowed in I said to the lass "well done love", she rolled her eyes and thanked me. Happy because everyone was, eventually, playing by the rules, long may it continue

A shout out to Dominos who very quickly and with no fuss sorted a refund for my double-payment as a result of an App glitch.

Nice to see the big boys not making life difficult for us, especially as I suspect they are one of the few companies doing rather well in these horrid times.

We've got you down as being a grumpy old git, like me, so what are you doing on the happy thread?

[Skyline2uk]

 

Ohhhh!

Thanks @steve836 , sorry @emjaybee

Well I am attempting some spraying with new paint this afternoon, so no doubt normal service will be resumed

[Trainfish]

I was planning to do similar but with last night's frost I don't think the fence will dry out today. Maybe I should be on the "not upset in the slightest" thread as I don't fancy spraying it until July anyway.

Snapped today, the disused trackbed of the Lilleshall and Company mineral line in Telford.  SWMBO and the two dogs don't seem to appreciate the significance of their daily walk

Location is the wooded area in the dead centre of this map:

(Right by the 'Y' in 'Railway')
